Note that in this list: "ȝ"=IPA "j", "ċ"=IPA "t͡ʃ", "sċ"=IPA "ʃ", and "ċȝ"=IPA "d͡ːʒ".
Note that etymologies or rationales for the Old English neologisms should be put after the Modern English translation in square brackets, like so:
  • fȳrƿǣpen (sn) - firearm, gun [calque of "firearm"]
Abbreviations used are: sm/sn/sf = strong masculine/neuter/feminine; wm/wn/wf = weak masculine/neuter/feminine; indecm/indecn/indecf = indeclinable masculine/neuter/feminine; w-dec. = w-declension; u-dec. = u declension; i-mut. = i-mutated; pl. = plural; aj = adjective; desc. = modifier for a noun (a "describer") other than an adjective; av = adverb; w1/w2/w3 = weak verb class; s1/s2/.../s7b = strong verb class.
  • Þēodsc (aj), Þēodscland (sm) – German, Germany [see the Gesprec:Þēodscland for details]
  • ymbhlūd (sm) – umlaut ["ymbe" + "hlūt", etymological calque from German Umlaut]

Are there any examples of "hlūd" being used as a noun in OE? If not (and I am not aware of any), I think it would be better to stick with a meaning calque.   Ƿes hāl!    08:23, 13 Þrimilcemōnaþ 2013 (UTC)
